Chapter 953

The black electric arcs were not lightning elements, but rather the power of devouring. This power was not strong enough to consume light itself, but it still compressed and tore at the surrounding spatial matter and elements, thereby grinding out fine spatial rifts.

Do not even think about blocking this Abyss Lightning Hammer head-on; you would be shredded by the spatial rifts.

Ang reached out and made a phantom grasp in the air beside the path of the incoming hammer. With his fist as the center, the entire light and space shrank inward—the power of devouring.

It was not as if only the hammer could use the power of devouring. Ang was even more familiar with this force, but his current body was not sufficient to allow him to unleash it at full strength; his body would be crushed by the pressure.

However, although he could not unleash it at "full strength," one-fifth or one-third power was still possible. The devouring force field he created immediately deflected the hammer's trajectory, causing it to turn and fly off to the side.

Naigelis and the others looked toward the corner from which the hammer had flown. They saw a humanoid object composed of black crystals lying on its side, maintaining the posture of having thrown the hammer, its face turned to stare in their direction.

Black crystals? Humanoid? But not a skeleton? Heavens, what is this thing? Naigelis's eyes widened: "What is this?! What is this thing?"

Anthony pressed a hand to his forehead, holy light flowing over his body to manifest his papal crown and divine soul. Silver Coin draped a money bag as tall as himself over his shoulders, and Du Luo Ken rolled up his cloak, vanishing into a mist.

Everyone was on high alert, wary of this unprecedented black crystal humanoid. However, they soon discovered that Ang was not looking at the black crystal humanoid at all; instead, his attention was focused on the hammer that had smashed into the ground.

Naigelis looked over in confusion, but before it could discern anything, the black crystal humanoid in the corner suddenly collapsed with a clatter.

"The hammer is the main body?" Naigelis reacted immediately and shouted loudly. Anthony and the others hurriedly turned toward the direction of the hammer.

On the ground where the hammer lay, a large amount of black crystal was bulging, as if something were gripping the hammer and crawling out from the earth. The black crystals assembled into an arm, a shoulder, a chest, an abdomen, and a head, finally forming a black crystal humanoid holding the hammer high.

"Too much talk, die..." The black crystal humanoid held the hammer, repeating the phrase from the beginning, and lunged forward violently.

Ang raised a hand, and a large hand made of sand and stone emerged from the ground, grabbing one of the black crystal humanoid's feet and tripping it forward just like a tripwire.

The black crystal humanoid's foot snapped off directly, and the sand and stone hand from the ground was pulled up along with it, both disintegrating and crumbling in mid-air simultaneously.

The black crystal humanoid, now with only one foot, flew forward, and the large hammer swung over as well, but it had absolutely no speed and could not tear out any spatial rift electric arcs, being caught by Ang's phantom grasp.

Ang released the power of devouring from his palm, which acted like a drain, steadily suctioning the hammer. At the same time, he flew out a kick, striking the black crystal humanoid and kicking it to pieces.

With this, the large hammer lost the support of the black crystal humanoid and was firmly suspended and suctioned in front of Ang.

Naigelis widened its eyes in astonishment: "So weak? I thought the black crystal humanoid was very powerful; how is it so weak?"

"It's not weak; it was just countered by my lord. If my lord weren't here, none of us could have blocked that hammer strike just now; we would have been shredded by the power of devouring." Anthony saw the clue, disagreed with Naigelis's assessment, and pointed to the ground where the hammer had struck.

The first point the hammer struck had cracked into a spiderweb pattern, and one could clearly see traces of black crystal debris scattered about.

Naigelis gasped. The ground was entirely made of black crystal; looking at it this way, that hammer strike just now was likely extremely dangerous. It could even shatter black crystal and carried spatial rift electric arcs; no one could withstand being hit by it.

Unfortunately, it ran into Ang, its nemesis. Ang was very familiar with the power of devouring; he was, after all, the master of the Abyss Maw.

Thus, with a pull and a trip, the large hammer realized it had been controlled. This change caused it to remain silent for a long time before it murmured and asked: "Who... are you?"

"This is the Abyss Origin. And you? Who are you?" Naigelis did not dare to get close and asked from afar, because Ang's phantom grasp and the hammer itself both carried Abyssal power, and there was a faint force suctioning them in that direction. The closer one got, the greater this "force" became.

The hammer said: "Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer."

As soon as the words fell, the space around the hammer slowly twisted, as if it were collapsing inward, and even the light dimmed significantly.

It seemed this Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer had not reached the level of consuming light, and it was unclear if its strength had weakened after shrinking. According to its outer mold, the Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer's devouring power should have been strong enough to consume light.

The nearby space collapsed toward the center, also suctioning Ang toward the hammer's direction, while Naigelis and the others felt gravity seemingly changing direction. The direction of the Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer was slowly becoming "down."

"Gravity midline!" Naigelis said. When the Holy Heavenly Kingdom was inverted over the Rest-in-Peace Abyss, there was a gravity midline between the Kingdom and the Abyss. One would be flying "up," but after crossing the gravity midline, it would immediately become flying "down." It was very magical.

However, after getting to know the Abyss Maw, such changes had become commonplace. Naigelis just reminded everyone, but it didn't need to remind them; the others had already lain down on the ground.

Ang's palm spun rapidly around the Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer as the center point, just like cleaning a window. However, as his palm circled, the Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer also began to spin rapidly.

There was a devouring force field centered on the Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer, and Ang's palm also had a weaker devouring force field at its center. The two devouring force fields formed a complex binary structure, where the rotation of one point would cause the rotation of the other.

Because Ang's palm circled around the hammer, his palm was equivalent to an orbit, while the Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer was equivalent to rotation. As it spun, the twisted space around the Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer actually gradually recovered.

Naigelis finally understood what Ang was doing and spat out a mouthful of old blood: "Pfft... making it spin at high speed to generate centrifugal force to cancel out the devouring force field?"

Ang still had the leisure to shake his head.

Ah? It wasn't that? Naigelis was astonished that it had guessed wrong.

Before Ang could explain, the Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer suddenly went into chaos. The devouring force field disappeared, and the hammer body and handle spun in a disorderly fashion, as if it had been spun dizzy?

"Pfft... spun dizzy? It's not even a biological creature; how could it be dizzy?" Naigelis felt it was too absurd.

Ang said: "Gravity change, consciousness disorder."

After saying this, Ang reached out and grasped the hammer handle. The color of his arm suddenly changed, as if it were crystallizing, rapidly spreading along his arm to his entire body—Ultimate Transformation: Black Crystal Body.

Naigelis understood. The hammer could sense the direction of gravity, and changes in gravity would act upon its consciousness. With the direction of gravity going up, then down, then left, then right, it quickly became conscious-disordered, unable to distinguish up, down, left, or right.

Although it was clever, if one did not understand the power of devouring, it would be impossible to think of such a clever method.

However, the Ten Thousand Attraction Divine Hammer's dizziness only lasted for a very short time. By the time it steadied its mind, Ang had finished his transformation and could withstand the powerful force. The surrounding light dimmed—Devouring Abyss, the power of devouring crazily poured into the hammer.
